	People who didn't know him well thought him a heavy drinker, not unfairly as whiskey had been a factor in the accident that cost him two ribs. When he recovered, he gave up fishing and from then on survived doing odd jobs and accepting tips from drunks he drove home from the Smokehouse Tavern and other bars. He spent a great deal of time at the Smokehouse, sitting at the bar drinking coffee and staring at the half-empty bottle of whiskey he'd been drinking the day of his accident. The level of the whiskey has been unchanged ever since, though the casual observer couldn't be faulted for assuming he still drank.
